Chapter 719: Season 2 - 14 Tailgating - 2-5 Revenge

November 1st, 2023, 20:10 (Iran Standard Time 14:40)

Iran, West Azerbaijan, Qatur (the 7th mechanized infantry brigade’s 79th armored battalion’s location)

The small village of Razi near the border of Iran’s West Azerbaijan and the Republic of Kurdistan’s Ban was the camp of the 7th mechanized infantry brigade’s 79th armored battalion.

The 79th armored battalion consisted of C-2A1 Black Tiger tanks. When the war against Iran officially began, they left the camp and started to mobilize toward Iran.

Based on the original plan, the 79th armored battalion was supposed to move through Qatur 6.5km south of Razi and occupy Makhin and Hahal, then to the main city of Koiro in the northern region of Urmia and Hosu.

Vrooooom! Vrooooom!

Dozens of C-2A1 Black Panther tanks and numerous armored vehicles lined up at the entrance of the small city of Qatur, and there were Iranian militia hiding within the crowd. These militiamen were in groups of two and armed with 2nd generation portable anti-tank projectiles, the RPG-7.

The RPG-7 was the upgraded version of the RPG-2 and it was intended to be a portable anti-tank projectile, but in the Middle East, it was used for anti-air purposes as well. If the projectile could take down an expensive tank or chopper, then the cost-to-benefit ratio would be enormous. Therefore, the RPG-7 was a popularly used weapon by the military, terrorist organizations, and pirates.

-Company 1, we will now enter the city. Company 2 and 3 will flank Company 1 and give support from the rear! The headquarters company will focus on anti-air efforts and drone reconnaissance. Over.

-Polar Bear, confirmed, over!

-Black Bear, confirmed, over!

-Grizzly Bear, confirmed, over!

-Silver Bear, confirmed, over!

The battalion commander’s orders came through the communication line. An urban occupation would normally begin with a joint search with the infantry forces, but due to the development of reconnaissance and attack drones, an armored battalion was now capable of searching by itself.

The skies above Qatur had 12 Eagle-I drones piloted by the headquarter company and they were scanning the entire city with their VR-M class camera. The drones detected all the Iranian militia’s weapons caches and soldiers hiding within the city waiting for an ambush and data-linked the information to all the tanks and armored vehicles under the 79th armored battalion.

Wooooooooosh~!

Suddenly, an RPG-7 round started flying through the air after kicking up dust clouds. It seemed the Iranian militia was attempting to shoot down an Eagle-I drone with it. However, it shot across the sky and missed. The Eagle-I drone was equipped with an automatic evasion system that was always active even when being piloted manually and thus, capable of making sharp turns.

The Eagle-I drone that avoided the RPG-7 round started to launch its 8mm laser Vulcan against the militia that had fired against it.

Pew pew pew pew pew pew~ Pew pew pew pew pew pew~

Dozens of laser beams started to fall on the militia who had launched the RPG-7 and running towards cover.

Argh! Ugh!

The militia that had attempted to hide indoors were pierced by the laser beams that came through the building and turned into Swiss cheese after letting out screams of pain. Their bodies were torn to shreds and became unrecognizable.

This started off the Iranian militia’s RPG-7 attacks against the C-2A1 Black Tiger tanks. The C-2A1 Black Tiger tanks also started firing their photon cannons and laser Vulcans to retaliate.

Iran, West Azerbaijan, Maku (3rd mechanized infantry company’s location)

Twenty-five minutes had passed since the battle began, and the trees and buildings blocking the path in the battlefield stretching 2.8km made both sides fight passively. However, the goddess of victory was starting to favor the 3rd mechanized infantry company.

Excluding three armored vehicles that had become immobile due to broken wheels, the 11 remaining C-23P-M Hyun-mu armored vehicles were completely unharmed, while the Iranian revolutionary guard’s 5th armored battalion’s T-14 Armata tanks were now collapsed on the field while covered in flames. There were now only eight T-14 Armata tanks fighting against the Corean military.

If the battlefield was an open field with high visibility, then the eight remaining T-14 Armata tanks would have been taken down as well. The 312 armored vehicle used the terrain in the battlefield to close its distance against the enemy T-14 Armata tanks and launched its photon cannon to the enemy’s sides.

Pew!

The clear sound of photon cannons filled the air, and the red photon particles started to dig into the side of the T-14 Armata tanks before exploding.

The photon cannons aboard the armored vehicles were weaker compared to the 100mm photon cannons equipped on the White Tiger tanks, but it was powerful enough to pierce through the side plating of an enemy armored vehicle or tank. The T-14 Armata tanks were equipped with an active hard-kill defense system. However, the system would only react against projectiles that flew up to 3,000m/s and it was useless against the photon rounds flying at 50,000m/s.

The large explosion caused the T-14 Armata tanks to shake and one had its turret fall off completely. Red and black flames started to rise into the sky. However, the tank without the turret still moved and attempted to take cover.

The explosion was enough to blow off the turret, but the crew was still alive. The crew aboard the T-14 Armata tank were protected by a 900mm RHA armored plating and had a high survival rate.

Unfortunately for the crew, they did not manage to survive much longer than that. Four more photon rounds struck the retreating T-14 Armata tank that was smoking.

Boom! Bang! Boom! Bang~

The T-14 Armata tank was destroyed after being continuously hit by photon rounds. The three crewmen that had managed to survive melted from the explosion.

“Sir! Isn’t this amazing?”

“Hey! What’s so impressive about you wasting five photon rounds on one single tank?” Sergeant First Class Go Gi-jun shouted at Sergeant Nam Gang-il who had raised his thumb and was cheering in the small cabin.

“Sir! Can’t you at least tell us we did a good job? You’re lowering our morale.”

“Shut up, sergeant, our 3 o’clock! Distance 150, confirm the target!”

A T-14 Armata tank emerged from their 3 o’clock direction at a building 150m away. The T-14 Armata tank had its 2A82-1M 125mm cannon directly pointing at the 312 armored vehicle.

Sergeant First Class Go Gi-jun’s urgent shouting made the armored vehicle’s turret turn around, but the only thing that could be seen through the vehicle commander’s scope was a fast-flying large black object.

Boom! Wooooooosh~

Despite the armored vehicle being equipped with powerful SECM jamming waves, the distance must have been too close, and the Vacuum-1 APFSDS round boasting a piercing power of 900mm struck the lower right side of the 312 armored vehicle.

A powerful shockwave rang across the armored vehicle. However, the 1,500mm armored plating of the armored vehicle deflected the Vacuum-1 APFSDS round into the air.

Sergeant First Class Go Gi-jun, who had butted heads with the periscope from the shock, let out a high-pitched scream.

“Hey! Sergeant Nam! What are you doing? Blow that bastard up already.”

“Yes, yes, sir.”

Sergeant Nam Gang-il was also light-headed from the blow on his head. However, he came back to his senses from Sergeant First Class Go Gi-jun’s shouting and pulled the trigger to fire the cannon towards the enemy tank.

Pew! Pew! Pew!

The red photon particles flew towards the T-14 Armata tanks and formed two black marks. One of the photon rounds did not manage to pierce through the armored plating due to the reactive plating.

However, the two other photon rounds started to dig through the interior of the tank and it exploded into pieces.

“Corporal Huh! We can still move, right?”

“Yes, luckily our wheels are fine, sir.”

“Great! Move to the rear for now! Sergeant Nam here shot the cannon willy nilly and now our photon cannon is low on charge.”

“Yes, sir.”

Soon the 312 armored vehicles that had taken down two T-14 Armata tanks started retreating to the rear to change its plasma battery.

The Republic of Kurdistan, Haraka, Yukusekoba (the 11th Marine mobile brigade’s location)

The 512 armored vehicle’s three crew who had been watching the Iranian military’s infantrymen climbing the harsh mountain regions were all open-mouthed in shock.

The area where the 512 armored vehicle had been conducting reconnaissance had over two divisions worth of infantry moving towards the southeastern region of the border, and there were over ten thousand armed forces under Iraq’s security force moving from the southwest as well. The Iraqi security forces had at least 2 to 3 divisions worth of men on the move.

“God, the Iraqi military is involved too. What do we do, sir? Isn’t this going to get rough?” Sergeant Kim Ki-dong spoke after watching the scene through the display.

“What’s there to fear? Let them come! I bet we could take out thousands with our 12mm Vulcans alone. Stop being scared.”

“There are at least 60,000 men over there, sir. Could there be more reinforcements we aren’t aware of?”

“Well, that could be the case! Anyways, we got enough intel, so let’s go back!”

The TCS system’s alarm started to sound.

Beep! Beep! Beep!

“What the-?” Sergeant Go Gi-jun checked the display. The plasma energy for the TCS mode was exhausted.

“Maybe, maybe it’s an error? Why are our power levels so low? We had 50% just a moment ago… All right, that’s it. Corporal Park! Let’s head back. Speed up slowly, so they don’t notice us.”

Click!

Suddenly the TCS mode of the 512 Kirin armored vehicle turned off. They ended up revealing themselves in an area swarming with Iranian infantrymen. The Iranian soldiers all stared at the Kirin armored vehicle.

“We’re fucked! Corporal Park! Move at maximum spee-”

Woosh! Wooosh!

As the 512 armored vehicle attempted to speed up and leave, the Iranian soldiers started to launch multiple projectiles. The display of the arms man on the 512 armored vehicle labeled one of the projectiles as ‘Russian portable Metis-S1 anti-air missile.’

Sergeant Kim Gi-dong shouted, “Sir! Tracer anti-air round is inbound.”

Three anti-air missiles flew across the sky while emitting white smoke and headed towards the 512 armored vehicle. Corporal Park Young-woo, the driver, started to pull the levers left and right to evade the missiles.

Woosh~! Boom! Bang!

The powerful SECM jamming waves caused two of the missiles to lose their target and explode after crashing on the ground. However, Russia’s latest Metis-S1 continued to tail the 512 armored vehicle and struck the rear.

Boom! Booooooom!

The powerful explosion from the rear of the 512 armored vehicle caused the right plasma hover engine to turn off, and the loss of balance caused the 512 vehicle to start to plummet down.

The 512 armored vehicle started to fall and tumbled a few times before crashing down on the surface and continued to slide and fall after landing on the mountainside.

A moment later, the 512 armored vehicle rolled down 100m and finally stopped after striking a small boulder. The Iranian soldiers slowly and carefully approached the 512 armored vehicle. The crew aboard and the eight marines inside had all became unconscious from the crash.
